Ways To Help Respawn With the Cheating Issue

Hello everybody, I have created this thread to discuss potential way we can help assist respawn in their constant fight against cheaters in this game. I want to start friendly and civil discussion on ways we can do this without impacting the game too much (for example making it pay to play).

    •  Introduce a feature that allows reporting players to find the video clip of them being cheated in game. Would only take 30 seconds at most and give manual bans some breathing room. It's not that hard a concept since our systems auto record anyway.

    Increase the level minimum for ranked to discourage smurfs more.

    Change the anti-cheat program to something that actually detects cheats.

    Hire a team of people to ban cheaters.  The actual cheaters SHOULD be named and dhamed somewhere once verified as cheaters.

    Add two factor authentication or some other technical verification of accounts to further discourage smurfs and cheaters.

    Your idea is ok I just do not agree with it. 

    Players and that includes streamers and pros should never have the ability to Ban, only to report just like everyone else. Its not like they can fully identify a cheater better than any other player of their skill level. EA staff that have access to game data should be the only ones that can do this. Increase their staff.  

    There have been both streamers and Pros banned for cheating etc. so lets not give them more power. They are already catered to as it is.

    The question should be "Why should EA be helped with the hacker problem?"

    A game that generates millions in revenue and they like other studios wont even invest 1% of that revenue back in to providing a robust anticheat because its easier to pay easy anticheat for their laughable attempt.

    Better in game reporting would be a big help, one that they ACTUALLY monitered instead of sending straight to a trash can file.

    Stop wasting time and recources banning everyone that gets reported for swearing, they dont bother looking at context OR what your team mate said, i took a litany of chat abuse and when i told the chap to F off i got a week ban.

    They will never get anti cheat in order when their priority is stroking snowflakes to sleep to try and be "woke"

    There is a total absence of priorities but nobody wants to hear it.
